A Terrible Crime.

A Jacksonville, Ind. telegram states that
intense excitement has oeen aroused there by
a'murder committed on Saturday by jacob
Robinson, a wealthy farmer, his victim being
Samuel Hoy. Robinson made the following
confession: One evening last week. went to
Hoy's house to tryand adjust our differences.
There was no one at home but aoy's sister
and mother, and they used sach language TO
me that | struck the old woman in the back.
She is IS years old and is partly psralyzed. l
also struck the daughter. | thought Of the
matter until Saturday evening, when | decid
ed to end 1t for all time. Loading my double
barreled shotgun | sprang into my wagon and
drove toward the Hoy homestead. ] met Hoy
and his sister in the road about 100 yards
from their home. told Hoy that | bad come
70 Kill him and IL he had any prayers TO
say TO be quick about It. The sister
screamed and pleaded with NE to spare her
brothers. life, and threw her arms about his
neck as II to shield him from my aim. Her
cntreaties failed to change my purpose. Plsc-
ing the gun upon his sisters shoulder |
pressed the trigger and saw him fall back
with seven bdllets IN his heart. The blood
spurted out over her white dress and he fell
back into her arms. Not being positive that
he was dead, | went over TO bis mothers
house and sat down on the steps and reloaded
my gun. In a few moments the sister came
up CRYING and said | had killed her brother.
Then 1 jumped into my wagon and drove
home. think | had a perfect right to XIII
him, because he attempted TO defrsud me cut
OF a portion Of my property. l am worth
over 800, 900. think $500 would get me out
Of tnis scrape and that my revenge will have
been cheaply purchased.

STATE OF TRADE.

Since the last report wheat has advanced In
plice 3 cents. The drought and the cblnch
bugs viii undoubtedly lower the percentage
81 spring and winter wheat in the northwest
aud west.
The country Is waking up TO the discovery
that The winter wheat crop is very light. The
droug. t. weather, experimenting the thinning
Effects OF winter killing, resulted in a shrunk-
en-, small grain, and the threshiDg machines
are seriously reducing the estimates. The
grain is sins ularly free from blemish, but Is
small and will mill badly, producing a large
percentage Of bran to the starch. The yield
in this group Of states will hardly exceed 20
per cent. of a full average, and especially
large shortage occurring in Kansas and Iii
nois, the Kansas yield being credited for only
O. per cent. OF last years product. The re
cefpts at Initial forwarding points are remark
ably small the arrivals at Chicago since harvest
being just enc-half Of that of 1856 to this date,
though the harvest OF 1887 was early.
The promise Of the wheat crop In Europe is
far better than In 1888. The exports OF the
wheat from the seaboard have been ~latterly
OH an immense scale, two Atlantic ports alone
Shipping on one day Of last week l,0i7, 600
bushels. This condition seems to point to
the holding policy as the course that Ameri-
can farmers will pursue for the present, es-
pec!ally as the winter wheat surplus will b
considerably smaller than had been estimated
by the trade and by the Wash ngton authori-
ties.
Pig irons have advanced. The mill men
expect a revival Of the ron trade In the fall
aud prices are very firm.
Cattle remain almost stationary, at a low
figure. Hogs advanced 3 and 10 cents during
the week.
We have arrived at a season when business
is usually quiet. The leading feature has been
steadiness in prices which is All indication
that it is upon a non.speculativc basis.

DR.. McGlynn's Case,

DR.. McGlynn appears to have injured his

marks at recent Lublic meetings. His speeches
have astonished many Of his friends in the
church, and they WA hesitate 10 offer him
their sympathy hereafter. 4 priest who has
supported him all along said: "His open at.
tack on the church fully j~usiiies his ex-com.
munication. The injury he has caused to
Catholic. in America is irreparable, and | am
sorry to see he has 80 many followers. His
attack upon Mgr. Preston was undig-
nified and malicious. He has lost
many friends, you may be sure. His
advice 20 Catholics to show their teeth

humble, is contrary to all religious law. II
any people have entertained a doubt OF the
justice OF his punishment they cannot fail 70

A FATAL OVERSIGHT.
An Engineer, Not Observing a Signal,
Runs Into An EXtra--Great Damage
Done--Fifteen Cars Burned.

Soi u
LINCOLN, Neh, July l~5.-About | O'Clock
THIS morning, the regular freight train from
the east coliidei with an extra stock trair,
bound for Omaha, three miles east OF here. IL
seems that the trains were to have passed NJ
Hayelock, and the engineer, B,wser, on the
regular ouund for Lincoln, Vas notified ,f
that fact 10y a flag al Havelock. BY some
chance, rumor has 1t that he was asleep, the
train came on without Stacking up her speed,
thus colliding with the extra about one mile
this side of Hayelock. The special freight
WAS moving slowly preparatory 10 passing
HaFelock. The trains met Ola u small bridge,
engine No. 40 telescoping the special engine,
but not throwing IL from the track. Thirteen
cars OF the regular, containing freight OF all
kinds, together with some enigrants
Ard their goods, were piled up, and taking
ire we're almost Immediately DESTROYED. On.
II these cars contained the goods And persons
OF DIR. Max Randill and his little .on, who
were released from the wreck. When the
ratnes reached the oil tank cars, which were
loaded with Oh, they both exploded with a
Tremendous report, and terrific force, spread.
ing mud over . large area OF ground, and
settling hre to the parched weeds beside the
track. Ii spread with terrible rapidity, and
the hungry flames soon enveloped the other
ears loaded with merchandise. After a long
and tedious struggle the gallant train men as.
sisted by those who were passengers on the
train, and by the residents near where the wreck
occurred, succeeded In stopptng the further
progress OF the fire IN the weeds before seri-
Gus damage had resulted to the fields Of small
grain near by, but owing to the sbsence Of
water and the intense heat, the cars we're
allowed to barn until fifteen bad been con-
sumed. The cause OF the accident WAS doubt
less the csrelessness Of Engineer Bowser, of
engine No. 400, bound west, and he claims he
did not see the signals at Hsvelock or the
headlight Of the stock train, until he struck
it. His fireman and the head brakeman also
Geny seeing it, hence there is ground for the
general belief that all three were asleep when
they struck HaVcIock, as there is no doubt
but that the signal was out, as Conductor
Martin and the rear brakeman both saw II and
used every endeavor possible TO stop the
train.
The loss to the railroad COMPANY ia estl.
IN ited at between So, 600 and $50 600, cx.
clusiva OF any personal damages sustained by
DIR. Randall and his son.
